XkbAllocKeyboard(3)              XKB FUNCTIONS             XkbAllocKeyboard(3)

NAME
       XkbAllocKeyboard -  Creates a keyboard description from scratch

SYNOPSIS
       XkbDescRec XkbAllocKeyboard (void);

DESCRIPTION
       Applications seldom need to directly allocate a keyboard description;
       calling XkbGetKeyboard usually suffices. In the event you need to
       create a keyboard description from scratch, however, use
       XkbAllocKeyboard rather than directly calling malloc.

       If XkbAllocKeyboard fails to allocate the keyboard description, it
       returns NULL.  Otherwise, it returns a pointer to an empty keyboard
       description structure. The device_spec field will have been initialized
       to XkbUseCoreKbd. You may then either fill in the structure components
       or use Xkb functions to obtain values for the structure components from
       a keyboard device.
